They've evacuated how many yesterday?How many evacuated today?They're scanning how many of them for radiation exposure?

Nuclear dust'll kill you?You can wash it off in the shower?

Edwin Lyman of the Union of Concerned Scientists says, "You could have the fuel overheating and melting ... the possibility of large scale radiological release exists!" NBC's expert, Robert Bazell says it's very unlikely.

And Charlie Sheen -- is he off his rocker? Repubs wanna kill Social Security? They're still arresting immigrants? Should I donate and save those beautiful dogs? My privacy's gone? Everything I do on line is watched, and sold?

Stay at home. Turn the TV off. Don't look at any of the news websites. Nothing you or I can do. Donate yes. Hope it gets in the right hands. Think positive thoughts. Its not a pretty picture out there!

HOW I GOT HERE

I started out as a modern dancer, contemporary, but balletic. I didn't want to be a swan, or a barefoot dancer. I wanted to dance to the music that thrilled me as a child, and made me want to be a dancer.

I began writing in the truck my first husband, Mark Ryder and I bought, in order to carry our set, props, and costumes for a long one-night-stands tour -- eighty-eighty performances in eighty-eight cities.

We were performing "Romeo and Juliet" nightly, but our marriage was breaking up. Every day while our stage manager drove us two-hundred miles or so to the next booking, I'd type a detailed description of last night -- what we did well, what we argued about, and a travelogue about the town, and comments from the people at the nightly party.

Recovering from the trip and the divorce, I sent my "car book" to a friend who said -- "Em, it's great,but ..." And that became rewrites, and another book. Then, my marriage to actor John Cullum, and then a play that got produced, and another book, big hopes because a famous agent loved it.The title and concept changed five times -- now it's been published, finally, as "Somebody, Woman of the Century."
